2008 C300 6-Speed - Retired Land Rover Disco II
New C300 owner from MN

Hello all,

This is my first Mercedes, and I'm really looking forward to it. I was searching nationwide and stumbled across this one. I'm thinking eventually I'll be blacking it out, however I'll keep it chromed out and stock for a while.
As for the car details, it has 85k miles on a 6-speed, RWD. Black-on-black with the panoramic sunroof. Flying out of state from MN to get it next week, so all I have is online pictures for now.





Looking forward to being apart of this community,
thanks in advance!

Welcome to MBWorld and grats on scoring a rarer pano model w204!

Blacking out some of the trim will really set her off, especially around the window and the trunk. Many also black out the front grille to give it a more menacing look, but that's personal aesthetics.

Let us know if you ever want to upgrade her lighting as well to newer whiter LEDs and HIDs. We specialize in plug and play kits and we're very familiar with w204 platform having a test vehicle in house.

Thank you! Lighting upgrades sound good and I've seen people on here using your products. Do you guys do interior lighting? I'd like to make all of the interior lights a cleaner white light. Then once more cash comes my way, get the front lights up to date.

Yup, we have discounted interior lighting package we can put together for you. All of your interior lights use our 194 wedge LEDs with the exception of the center rear dome light which also has a single 41mm festoon LED. Shoot us a PM or email us directly at aznoptics@gmail.com and we can get you set up proper with clean white lights
